Topic: Fix the squid package {completed} (Read 48976 times)

This discussion has been ongoing in the packages forum. The squid package is now very slow for some reason. It is also based on an outdated release. To be awarded the bounty, update the squid package to the latest stable release (2.6.18), provide transparent proxy throughput at or very near non-proxy throughput, and make sure that sites like auctionsniper.com and evga.com (maybe others too?) display properly when opened through the proxy. All of this must work on 1.2rc5 or 1.2_STABLE when it happens. I am willing to contribute $250 to the bounty, and heiko $200 per one of the related posts below as long as he gets an invoice. To get up to speed I've listed most (I think) of the other related posts below.

Sullrich, thanks for being so amazingly prompt in getting the package updated, especially in light of 1.2 approaching release.

The 'broken' sites appear to be working under the latest version. The speeds look improved, but not fixed. Under 2.6.18/1.2RC5 I can get 600kbps where I used to see about 250-300 kbps before the package bump. This is on a bonded T-1 WAN 3mbps where I can see 2700kbps on squid 2.6.5/1.2RC2.

Getting the package updated is a huge step, thanks...now where is all the bandwidth going?
